Today was another Snow Day and buses weren't running. We arrived home from the hospital in -40 temps to a quiet, dimly lit house around 4am and tucked into bed. A very tired Mr. Stannix plugged in his heated blanket on my side of the bed and tucked babe and I in for a few hours of much needed sleep before crawling in on the other side of the bed himself.
Camilla got herself up to zoom into Seminary and Lily joined us in our room a few minutes later. When she tried to crawl into our bed she noticed the baby and got all excited. Soon her little feet were tip-toeing our of our room to find her big sister, "Camilla! Dere's a BABY in mom's bed!!"
The children were in and out of our room all morning as blue sky and sunshine filled our bedroom. We were in and out of sleep while listening to the hum of the children playing downstairs. The baby slept most of the night and finally opened his eyes around 9am to nurse. With the snow flocked trees and freezing temperature I am glad we can cozy up at home for a few days more!
Camilla snuck in to hold Cooper very first before seminary while the moon lit my room, so I grabbed a picture late in the morning.
My Dad invited everyone over to their house for bacon and eggs for brunch and I was brought a plate to eat in bed. It was nice to enjoy a few minutes of peace and quiet before everyone made their way back for baby snuggles. Gramma was out helping a friend early this morning and finally was able to make her way over for snuggles of her own.
I dozed on and off to the afternoon sounds of the children cleaning the kitchen together under their Dad's direction. Camilla vacuumed pretty well the whole house while Lily ran in and out of my room singing to herself and feeding her dollies who were now residing in coopers bassinet. And Cooper continued to sleep through it all!
Lily is so excited to finally have "her baby" to hold and love on. She is already such a great big sister to Cooper!
We are so glad he is finally here!
